Truncation Burin

Working hard fibrous materials

Aurignacian
Around 35 000 years

Commentary : 

During the Aurignacian, over 35 000 years, the regular production of large flint blades, allows more efficient tools to be created. Their length make them easy to hold and efficient to work with. Their use-life is considerably longer, as they can be re-sharpened numerous times.

During the Aurignacian, the burin is used to work fibrous organic materials, such as wood, an essential element for the manufacture of hunting weapons, and everyday objects.
